Beating the drum and singing grievances, at first glance, it seems to be a step for the grass people to enter the yamen, but this is just a first hearing, the lawsuit of the Ming Dynasty, there are very few drumming, and there are even many county yas, and even the drumsticks are not prepared for you.

There is no other reason, the focus is on this injustice.

The old men are working hard, how can there be injustices on sunny days?

In general litigation, it is first reported to the chief, and then the chief mediates, and brings someone to negotiate with the yamen, and the official of the yamen prepares the file and submits it to the official master, who then disposes of it at his discretion.

Therefore, except for big and important cases, the local yamen have a kind of arbitrariness. This is still because Shuntianfu is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, if it is in the ordinary state capital and county government, then there will be no complaint, there is a saying in ancient times, called the regime does not go to the countryside, the villagers commit crimes, are dealt with by the patriarchal law, sometimes by the chief of the clan with the patriarch of the clan, is the chief here, in fact, it is just to observe, and will not put forward their own opinions, after all, the clan has the rules of the clan, people deal with their own people, what does it matter to you?

Therefore, there is the rule of Zhenguan, and there are only dozens of death row prisoners who are executed in a year, in fact, not only Tang Taizong, but also in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the demons of Hongwu and Emperor Wen, during the Qingping period, there were only about 100 serious cases such as the Autumn Queen's beheading that were sentenced in a year.

This is not to say that the world is peaceful, and there are fewer people who commit crimes, but most of the cases and disputes are handled by the clan, usually the adulterer is beaten by the man, the woman rides a wooden donkey or dips in the pig cage, the murder pays for the life, and the nonsense is slapped.

The people don't raise it, the officials don't hold it accountable, and everyone is safe.

Fortunately, Shuntianfu is stronger than the county government, and most of them don't care about neighborhood disputes, but they won't stand idly by and watch the murder case, and as for some larger disputes, they will also intervene. However, this drum of grievances outside the yamen of Shuntian Mansion has not been knocked for several years.

Liu Chengfeng didn't find the drumstick at first, so he knocked it with his hand, but this knock was terrible, and countless dust immediately fell on the drum surface, which suddenly made Liu Chengfeng gray.

However, the sound of the drum he beat was spread loudly, and in the yamen of this Shuntian Mansion, whether it was an official or an official, they all felt strange at this time, which bastard had nothing to do when he was full, and he actually joked about this drum of injustice. Master Yin has been in office for two years, and no one has ever beaten this drum of grievances, and for this, the lord has shown off to others more than once, saying that under his rule, there is no grievance. But now...... Isn't this a slap in the face of Master Yin?

And this Shuntianfu Yin Tang Shao was also frightened by this drum at this time, originally he was still roasting charcoal fire in the ear room, cooking wine and chatting with a few colleagues, and chatting about the hottest topics of the moment, he was proud, but when he heard someone beating the drum outside, his face suddenly pulled down, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Who is drumming!" ”

Even if there is a grievance, it is reported directly, but it is beating the drum here, which is not to embarrass yourself.

After a while, an errand came in and said, "My lord, my lord, there are people outside who beat drums and complained, saying that they want to complain...... Complaint ......"

Tang Shao had a calm face and said coldly: "What are you complaining about?" ”

The messenger said with a bitter face: "Sue ...... Let's go to the Yamen of Tianfu and sue your lordship......"

It turned out that someone was looking for a venue.

This time, not only Tang Shao's face was ugly, but even several other hall officials couldn't help but be angry, and they all stood up, and said: "Who is so bold, and he doesn't look at what kind of place this is, sue Shuntianfu, and Shuntianfu is also what he can sue." ”

The other said: "How can this be reasonable, these Diao people dare to bully the head of Shuntian Mansion." ”…

Tang Shao's face became a little strange, he didn't believe that there was such a bold person in the world, since people dared to sue, they must have come prepared, so he asked, "Who is the person who sued?" ”

The messenger replied, "Liu Chengfeng ......"

Liu Chengfeng......

Everyone gasped, and the faces of the two hall officials who were angry and scolded just now also became strange.

Liu Chengfeng doesn't know that this guy has also robbed the job of Shuntian Mansion, and it is said that this person is very close to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the emperor also admires him a lot.

It's just that this guy wasn't recently impeached for recruiting private soldiers? This is on the cusp, you should stay obediently and honestly, why, dare to come to Shuntian Mansion to make trouble?

Thinking of the wind and rain that has occurred in the DPRK and China in recent days, those hall officials who were originally a little afraid of color flashed cold one by one, and some people said: "He has a hundred households, but he came to sue us Shuntianfu, what is the reason?" Is it okay to do without the rules of the Jinyi Guard? If they don't follow the rules, we can also follow the rules, my lord, just kick them out. ”

Tang Shao shook his head and said, "What are you doing when you drive away?" It's good that he's here, and he wants to see what tricks this Liu Chengfeng is going to play. ”

An order was given, and the servants were ordered to ascend to the church.

With a mighty sound, the two classes of officers stood upright on both sides of the main hall, under the high hanging mirror, Tang Shao was wearing a red official robe, with a wing hat on his head, sitting with a majestic face, a pair of eyes fell on the people in the hall, and finally locked on Liu Chengfeng, this Liu Chengfeng sneered at him, and the eyes of the two were about to spew fire.

The enemy was very red when he saw him.

In fact, Liu Chengfeng also inquired about who was behind this Shuntian Mansion, and the first impeachment of him was done by Zhu Zan, the right attendant of the household department, Zhu Zan and this Shuntian Mansion Yin are said to have a good relationship, presumably Zhu Zan is inseparable.

Liu Chengfeng is not afraid of Zhu Zan, nor is he afraid of Shuntianfu, the reason why he stayed in the hundred households and did not dare to move, but was afraid of a more terrible person, Tang Shao's back is Zhu Zan, then Zhu Zan is Li Dongyang's protégé, this matter, so Zhu Zan's back, will it be Li Dongyang?

Thinking of Li Dongyang, Liu Chengfeng suddenly became honest, this old guy doesn't look at the usual spring breeze, he is indeed a good hand.

It's just that Liu Chengfeng has been forced into a corner, and he can't take care of it much at this time, and his enemy at the moment is Tang Shao.

Syllable......

Facing Liu Chengfeng's naked gaze, Tang Shao suddenly felt a little humiliated, this guy, in his own land, dared to stare at himself with such eyes, it was really hateful.

Shocked Tang Mu slapped hard, Tang Shao said angrily: "Who is in the hall, why don't you worship when you see this official." ”

Wu Ci and the others, who came with Liu Chengfeng, trembled in their legs all of a sudden, and under this official danger, they bowed down one after another, and said: "Villain Wu Ci, I have seen ...... adults."

Liu Chengfeng stood with his sword pressed, with a playful smile on his face, still staring at Tang Shao nakedly.

Tang Shao was even more angry, he was a member of the three grades of the imperial court, even if he was a hundred households of the Jinyi Guard's pro-army, he couldn't be so rude when he saw him, so he sneered at Liu Chengfeng: "Who are you, you dare to be rude in front of this official." ”

It's not that he doesn't know that this guy is Liu Chengfeng, who is famous as the Jingshi, but when he asks this, it is quite a bit of a disgrace.

Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "I am Liu Chengfeng." ”

There was disdain in his tone, which made Tang Shao feel even more uncomfortable, Tang Shao took the case again, and said: "But Jinyi Wei's pro-army hundred households Liu Chengfeng, since he is a six-rank military attaché, why didn't he see this official?" ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled, as if he was thinking about what wording to use to answer him, or he was indifferent to Tang Shao's question at all, and after a long time, he looked directly at Tang Shao and said word by word: "You...... No...... With ......"...

Tang Shao's face darkened suddenly, and just about to scold, Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "What this official is wearing is the flying fish suit given by His Majesty, and what he is holding in his hand is the embroidered spring sword given by His Majesty. ”

Tang Shao swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach at once, as if he had eaten a fly, but it was difficult to say anything.

Just now Tang Shao wanted to give Liu Chengfeng a dismount, but who knew that he didn't succeed, but let Liu Chengfeng give him a dismount. Especially the sentence of how can you be virtuous, it is also my great gift, and it completely offsets Tang Shao's home advantage.

"This guy is clearly here to provoke." Tang Shao was furious in his letter, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, Liu Chengfeng originally came to provoke and provoke trouble, he didn't pick on other people's affairs, others would pick on his affairs, since everyone turned their faces, there was no need to be polite.

Tang Shao also knew that Liu Chengfeng was not an easy person to deal with at this time, so he took a deep breath, felt a little more cautious and vigilant in his heart, and said: "Liu Chengfeng, you brought these people to Shuntianfu, what is the matter?" Shuntianfu and Jinyiwei's pro-army are different from each other, and they are safe and sound, you are so aggressive, but why are you? ”

Liu Chengfeng said, "My lord, why don't you sit down?" Standing and talking to adults, Liu Chengfeng's legs were numb. ”

Tang Shao wanted to go in to get to the point, this guy actually wanted a chair to sit on, clearly telling Tang Shao, don't treat me like a prisoner, combined with his last sentence: How can you be virtuous, and dare to shout in front of Lao Tzu.

Tang Shao was furious for a while, and even the hand that grabbed the startling wood couldn't help but tremble, and scolded Liu Chengfeng in his heart for being shameless, but after thinking about it carefully, since this guy had moved out the things given by Qin, if he didn't give him a seat, he would inevitably fall into his mouth, hesitate, and said, "Come on, give Liu Baihu a seat." ”

Liu Chengfeng added a sentence for Tang Shao: "By the way, I came to visit this Shuntian Mansion today, but my mouth was dry." ”

Liu Chengfeng emphatically added the word visit, which means that I am not a grass farmer who came to complain, I and you should be on an equal footing, at worst, I am also a guest, don't expect to show me a face, don't be embarrassed.

The two classes of errand officers looked at each other one by one, and it was the first time they bumped into such a guy, but Tang Shao did not speak, which meant that he acquiesced to Liu Chengfeng's request, maybe he didn't want to continue to entangle with Liu Chengfeng on this inconsequential topic at all.

The servants brought a seat to Liu Chengfeng, and brought tea to Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng sat down unceremoniously, raised Erlang's legs, and brought up tea. There is a little pride in his heart, he really can't take it out to bluff people, but the things on his body seem to be of some use.

In his heart, he couldn't help but have a little expectation, Zhu Youzhu had promised to be made an earl, although he was a fourth-class earl, but there was an earl in his body, and in the future, in these major yamen, he would have to be more decent, but now this earl is only a promise, and the specific holy decree has not yet been issued, but I don't know where the fief is.

Although the earl's fiefdom, the symbolism is greater, but there is a mystery here, if it is a superior county, it means that the palace has a little favor for you, and it is more majestic to go out, but if it is an inferior county, it is a little perfunctory, such as Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, his fief Shouning is a superior county, which is the seat of Shouning Mansion, and the location of the prefecture-level city in later generations, it is very bright. It's just that Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling is a little shabby, this Jianchang is in Liaodong, a bitter cold land, belonging to the front line, and even inferior counties, but his title, or when Empress Zhang was the crown princess, the first emperor was enthroned, and it was clear that this Zhang Yanling was placed.

Liu Chengfeng was thinking crankily in his heart, and Tang Shao also had a plan in his heart, knowing that this Liu Chengfeng was cunning, so his eyes fell on Wu Ci and the others, he couldn't scare Liu Chengfeng, couldn't even these grass people be scared? In that case, let's break through from these people.
